500592 2006-11-20 02:15:00 Just recieve s PDF file,arrived from friend,he has sent drawings.
What sort of thing does one need to send a PDF file.
As I understand it,the point of that kind of file is not to be able to alter on arrival?

500593 2006-11-20 02:20:00 What do u mean what do u need?

An email addy helps if u wanna send it by email.

You cant normally alter a PDF file, unless u buy Foxit or Adobe reader Pro.

Or other programs that can read PDF files.

500594 2006-11-20 02:29:00 if you want to make one then send it you can use PrimoPDF to make pdf
it's free and works great for me

it's just a virtual printer so you can 'print' anything into the pdf file

500595 2006-11-20 02:31:00 The main point of a pdf file is that it preserves the formatting of the original so it doesn't look like a dog's breakfast if your reader settings are different from the writer's . It is also now a standard so you can expect the recipients to be able to open it .

If you want to know how to write one (I presume you meant write rather than send), use google with "free pdf writer" . This will get you enough references to keep you out of mischief for a while!

500596 2006-11-20 02:57:00 I think I have it.

Speedy,what I meant by what do I need,was,do I need a special app to send and write a pdf.

I think that has been answered.

500599 2006-11-20 03:53:00 OpenOffice 2.0.4 (http://www.openoffice.org/) has the ability to directly export as .pdf

OpenOffice is also free.
